Has anyone changed the alternator on a beetle?

Asked by mat3386 Dec 23, 2010 at 08:29 AM about the 2006 Volkswagen Beetle 2.5L Convertible

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I attempted to change the alternator on my beetle myself. I tore apart the entire right side of the car and was able to look directly at the alternator, but still saw absolutely no way to remove it. Anyone ever changed one?
